Are the messages also being sent to postmaster at yourdomainname.com?  If so,
you can use mutt to see the messages.  It's a thought.

You will need to capture one of the messages in its entirety and post it 
will full headers here.

the easiest way to do this is to setup a catchall account for a few 
seconds, capture a message then turn off the catchall account.

Its been a few years since I used sendmail so I forget how to do this :-)
